Luckily I backed up most of my photos..not those I took in February..or March.. but the backwoods guy says he may be able to retrieve those. I took some great photos yesterday too.. oh well.
Far Guy is letting me use his computer..everything is strange..he uses Fire Fox, I use Explorer. His chair leans to one side because he likes to lean back in his chair and put his feet up. If I did that I would end up in a heap on the floor, either that or have to holler every time I needed help straightening up. His keyboard is strange too, it is much better than mine..his monitor is smaller... he also has a messy area and does not use a mouse pad.. my area three feet away is much neater..and forlorn looking..with a black monitor and a mouse that does not glow red..sad.. very, very sad.
Now the adventure starts.. lets see what photos Far Guy has!
A crooked, scanned in photo....taken in February 1987, back when Far Guy managed the Hockey Arena. That would be him driving the Zamboni! Back then, what hair he had was really silvery grey! This could be fun..well maybe not..but it is nice of him to share his computer with me:)
Darn, bad business that is, that is for sure! Hope you get your computer back before you tidy Far Guy's area as you think between sentences.
ReplyDeleteThat photo made me laugh-I don't suppose he has photos of flowers in there...I guess it's a guy thing.
ReplyDeleteI used my husbands lap top yesterday so I know what you mean. It felt forign to me, like using someones elses sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteI'd be SOL..Cowboy doesn't have a computer..and if he did, he wouldn't have a clue how to turn it on or off!
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't cooperate with Whoa, Spurs or Reins; or live on hay and get around on 4 feet; or wearing fur ...he'd fail miserably at life......shhhhh, don't tell him I said that..
We are thinking about a backup computer. It definitely is not "a good thing" when they break down. I am lost without ours.
ReplyDeleteI hope that yours is up and running soon. It does feel odd when you use someone else's computer.

Sorry to hear your computer crashed......that really sucks. I'd feel lost without mine. Hope you get to retrieve your photos, that would be the worst loss of all if you can't.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Thant why I have everything backed up on Portable hard drives. The Zamboni brings back memories...:-)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like your own computer...you know it inside out..
ReplyDeleteI have lost stuff, so now I have an external hard drive to back everything up on..
Best wishes that you get your photos back..

So sorry to hear about your computer. I hope it can be saved. After the 2nd time we went through that, we got a portable hard drive to back up to. It's really handy and easy to use. Great peace of mind too!
ReplyDeleteI was at my sister's yesterday at she let me use her lap top. I was like a fish out of water! She had to go get the mouse from the desk top and it seemed like it was taking me forever to do anything!
ReplyDeleteI have Free Agent (portable hard drive)is constantly running on my computer so I can't loose anything. Hope you didn't loose anything. and God bless your Cowboy's pea picken heart

Far Guy drove a ZAMBONI ???? Holy Cow!! He would be KING...well PRINCE at least in our house, cause we LOVE HOCKEY!

Love the photo - reminds me of every Saturday, when the Zamboni comes out to polish the ice after ice hockey practice and in time for ice skating practice.
ReplyDeleteI love Firefox - will never go back to Explorer!
Man, that is terrible! I would hate to have to use my husband's as he doesn't have one and where would I be? Ugh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new blog sites to visit, I'm already so behind in work, that having a few more blog places to visit helps break up my day.
